What does it mean when you have a migraine that is effecting your vision?

Migraine with aura: It sounds as though you have "migraines with aura". Aura refers to specific symptoms that occur before the onset of the headache. These symptoms are temporary and act as a harbinger of the headache to come. The aura not infrequently involves changes in vision such as blind spots, loss of vision, etc. that are temporary.

Classical migraine: The variety of migraine which is associated with auras affecting the eyes and results in scintillating scotomata and/ or fortification spectra is called "Classical Migraine" and is far less common than "Common Migraine".
